Adaptive Non-linear Centroidal MPC with Stability Guarantees for Robust Locomotion of Legged Robots
Mohamed Elobaid, Giulio Turrisi, Lorenzo Rapetti +7
Nonlinear model predictive locomotion controllers based on the reduced centroidal dynamics are nowadays ubiquitous in legged robots. These schemes, even if they assume an inherent…
Creating a Segmented Pointcloud of Grapevines by Combining Multiple Viewpoints Through Visual Odometry
Michael Adlerstein, Angelo Bratta, João Carlos Virgolino Soares +4
Grapevine winter pruning is a labor-intensive and repetitive process that significantly influences the quality and quantity of the grape harvest and produced wine of the following…
Non-Gaited Legged Locomotion with Monte-Carlo Tree Search and Supervised Learning
Ilyass Taouil, Lorenzo Amatucci, Majid Khadiv +4
Legged robots are able to navigate complex terrains by continuously interacting with the environment through careful selection of contact sequences and timings. However, the combin…
PACC: A Passive-Arm Approach for High-Payload Collaborative Carrying with Quadruped Robots Using Model Predictive Control
Giulio Turrisi, Lucas Schulze, Vivian S. Medeiros +2
In this paper, we introduce the concept of using passive arm structures with intrinsic impedance for robot-robot and human-robot collaborative carrying with quadruped robots. The c…
Leveraging Symmetry in RL-based Legged Locomotion Control
Zhi Su, Xiaoyu Huang, Daniel Ordoñez-Apraez +8
Model-free reinforcement learning is a promising approach for autonomously solving challenging robotics control problems, but faces exploration difficulty without information of th…
Accelerating Model Predictive Control for Legged Robots through Distributed Optimization
Lorenzo Amatucci, Giulio Turrisi, Angelo Bratta +2
This paper presents a novel approach to enhance Model Predictive Control (MPC) for legged robots through Distributed Optimization. Our method focuses on decomposing the robot dynam…
On the Benefits of GPU Sample-Based Stochastic Predictive Controllers for Legged Locomotion
Giulio Turrisi, Valerio Modugno, Lorenzo Amatucci +2
Quadrupedal robots excel in mobility, navigating complex terrains with agility. However, their complex control systems present challenges that are still far from being fully addres…
Morphological Symmetries in Robotics
Daniel Ordoñez-Apraez, Giulio Turrisi, Vladimir Kostic +6
We present a comprehensive framework for studying and leveraging morphological symmetries in robotic systems. These are intrinsic properties of the robot's morphology, frequently o…
